I am having a very frustrating problem with my self-hosted 1.6.5 installation.
After making changes to bluedragon.xml to change mysql credentials, I can no longer access the admin interface. I’ve considered going through the setup process but I am very concerned about losing my tenants. All my tenants are perfectly operational so I am assuming that the mysql credentials are properly configured but how can I stop the admin interface from going through the setup wizard. I have exhausted all options I can come up with and hope I can get some help from the community.
First off, why are you changing the core config files? If you do so, you
should know what you are doing.
Second, the reason is most likely in the change of the file itself. Revert
it back and see if it works. Else, check with MySQL that you can sign in
with the new credentials. I’m guessing you can’t because the credentials
don’t work.
You also need to restart Tomcat each time you make a chance.
I changed the config only because there doesnt sem to be any other way to change the mysql logon credentials within the application.
the reason for the change as someone previously setup the mysql connection using a root user. This is of course not appropriate and had to be changed.
At this point I have no way to revert this back. Would not the fact the tenants are able to access the mysql instance with the new credentials indicate the credentials are ok ? so now why if the tenants pick up the credentials change would the admin interface need anything further and want more information that the what can be found in the database?
I’m very familiar with tomcat but less with openbd/cold fusion
after some poking around I found admin/maintenance/ResetWizard.z. after copying that to admin/maintenance/ResetWizard.cfm and running it, my admin interface has come back to me.
Thanks for your ongoing efforts and time nonetheless !
